If all three qualifying stays are charged to a Best Western Rewards MasterCard, members will also earn 1,000 bonus points.

The bonuses may only be earned once per member.

Deal or No Deal

Assuming all three qualifying stays are one-nighters at an average rate of $100, the $50 card amounts to a 16.7 percent rebate. The rebate percentage increases or decreases as the room rates fall or rise.

For most travelers, then, the rebate will be a modest one. And that Travel Card isn’t a cash-like gift card — the amount can only be applied toward Best Western stays.

Rewards members normally earn 10 points per $1 spent. So the earnings for three $100-a-night stays would be 3,000 points, and the 1,000 bonus points would be a 33.3 percent increase.

Not exactly triple or even double points.

Best Western partisans should certainly take advantage of the bonuses. But the promotion isn’t likely to move the needle for brand-agnostic travelers.
